While Dell's original 30" 3007 had some limitations in terms of resolutions and features, Dell is making sure that its next-gen part will meet every geek's needs.
Dell looked hard at all the faults of the 3007WFP and 3007WFP-HC, and is now ready with its successor [3008WFP], after some nine months of development.

This monitor comes with two dual-link DVI connectors, thus hardware testers will be able to hook up two testbeds via DVI, and one testbed via analogue D-SUB connection.
This is only the beginning, since this baby also comes with Component, S-VHS, Composite in, USB upstream connector (for 4-port USB hub and 9-in-2 card reader).
This normal [specification] for 2405/2407/2707 monitors, is [further] expanded with both Displayport and HDMI connectors.

Connector overview: 3 and 4 are speaker outputs (HDMI), 5 is D-SUB, 6 is Component Input, 7 is DisplayPort, 8 is HDMI, 9 are DVI-D's, and 10/11 = TV in.


The video processing chip in the monitor will enable decent resolution scalability, so you will be able to use 2560x1600, 1920x1200, 1920x1080, 1680x1050, and all other often used resolutions.Get the full low-down here (http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2007/11/12/world-meet-3008wfp-displayport) ;)

I'm going to have to convert to the dark side that is dell... I've wanted to avoid them because they represent capitalism and commercialism in their highest forms... but damn I want one of those!

The apple displays are so nice as well, but when dell's are so much cheaper with this amount of connectivity, I can't stand on principle...
